A book to implement the new-millennium spirit of adventure and the unquenchable thirst for overland travel. The capability of modern 4x4s, the availability of satellite communications, navigation and images widens the scope for modern voyages of discovery.

A massive, 550 page distillation of 30 years’ experience and recent research. Detailed and thorough in its approach to all aspects of vehicle-based expeditions. Signposting within the book ensures easy access to just the information required. Headings, tables, line drawings and page side-note summaries together with copious photography give the overview when needed.

Clothing, equipment, vehicles, vehicle modifications, loading and lashing are covered; plus water filtration, shipping, fuels and oils, communications and comprehensive coverage of maps, navigation and driving.

EDITION 2.2 – a reprint of Edn 2.1 with some updates. Focused demand for this book since the 2nd Edition sold out drove used-copy prices to absurd levels. High prices do not mean volume demand so the print-run has perforce been small and thus expensive. But the resulting cost is still less than a quarter of that asked on the internet. And innovative printing has made it possible to reduce the price for the new edition – a humble nod to budget-conscious expedition planners!
